The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Paignton, Compton, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 35 m² | 36 m² | 39 m² | 8 |
| 2 | 36 m² | 44 m² | 53 m² | 347 |
| 3 | 49 m² | 62 m² | 76 m² | 503 |
| 4 | 58 m² | 77 m² | 96 m² | 944 |
| 5 | 68 m² | 86 m² | 109 m² | 1,088 |
| 6 | 95 m² | 119 m² | 157 m² | 567 |
| 7 | 113 m² | 142 m² | 188 m² | 345 |
| 8 | 133 m² | 171 m² | 227 m² | 134 |
| 9 | 168 m² | 212 m² | 270 m² | 73 |
| 10 | 185 m² | 250 m² | 344 m² | 24 |
| 11 | 228 m² | 272 m² | 370 m² | 15 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 10 habitable rooms, ranging from 185 to 344 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
